Join Coast Salish spinning specialist Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa in learning about traditional Coast Salish fibres such as mountain goat wool, wool from the Coast Salish Wolley dog, Indian hemp/dogbane, stinging nettles and fireweed fluff. Discover how these fibres were prepared, and the tools used to spin them. Examine and touch samples of fibres to get an appreciation of the skills and mastery required to spin them into magnificent robes and blankets.
